What happens if you include someone else's program in mine, but you can't, but you really want to?

Question

Copyright

My free non-commercial program (a useful utility under my original name) intended for the general public should use someone else's non-commercial program for the general public, hosted as a ready-made exe binary on Github, but here's the problem - its author indicated in the license file on Github, that the program should not be distributed. His program does not require you to press the confirmation of this agreement at the first start (as any other requires, for example). Also, in the license agreement, which was placed by the author of the program, his nickname (pseudonym) is indicated and the surname / company is not indicated.
What should I do if I need to include his program in mine and distribute it freely?
ps for the right to be called the author of his program, I keep its original name, and do not pass off my program as his program, I do not rename it and do not change anything in it, but only supplement his program with my program, that is, I and "step on copyright " not going to.
Perhaps all questions can be removed by not including someone else's program in the distribution kit, but downloading it to the user at the first start?

Sadness, trouble.
> His program does not require you to click the confirmation of this agreement the first time you start
I see no difference.
> (as, for example, requires any other)
> any other
LOLSHTO?
> Also, in the license agreement, which was placed by the author of the program, his nickname (pseudonym) is indicated and the surname / company is not indicated.
And what about that to you?
> What should I do if I need to include his program in mine and distribute it freely?
Write to the author and ask him to release his program.
> I keep its original name, and do not pass off my program as his program, I do not rename it and do not change anything in it ... that is, I am not going to "step" on copyright
Why do you invent terms?

ANDThis is exactly what is often done with non-distributable programs. For example, some distributions of GNU that are not squeamish about non-free software. For example, Debian in relation to Flashplayer (both: which is downloaded from adobe.com, and which is distributed only as part of Google Chrome). And I have not heard that it was ever considered a violation.

Answer 2

From "nothing" to "a seven-year lawsuit for billions of dollars, like between Google and Oracle over 9 lines of copied code." How do we know what will happen? Ask the author of that program about it.

Answer 3

Talk to the developer of this program and ask for his permission. :) It's ethical and respectful.
